Sebastian`s father Henryk moved to USA in the 1980s, when Sebastian was a child, as he was a soccer player, and went to USA in search of a contact, and also a better life. Meantime, Sebastian was good enough at soccer to play for Polish Under-17 team when he was 15 years old. His parents divorced after a few years, and his father married an American citizen, which enabled Sebastian to move to the USA. When he moved to the USA, he settled with his father and stepmother, and attended Orangewood Christian School, playing for their soccer team, and thanks to his skills, he also joined the Orlando Lions, which was an under-19 team.
Soon after, recommended by his coach, Angelo Rossi, Sebastian transferred from Orangewood Christian School to Seabreeze High School, where he continued his soccer career, but became interested in American Football too, as a place kicker, to the extent where he earned USA Today High School All-American Honors in 1996, and also won two Lou Groza Awards, in 1998 and 1999.

He has won several prestigious awards, and recognitions, including one Pro-Bowl appearance in 2011, and was also selected for the Second-team All-Pro the same year.
During his 17-season career, he subsequently signed three contract extensions which have only increased his net worth; in 2005 he signed a contract worth $10.5 million over 5 years, his next contract was in 2010, worth $16 million over four years, and his latest contract has been active since 2013, worth $19 million over five years.
